The formation of a human life in the womb takes approximately 9 months during that process the embryo is given different attributes, characteristics, traits, and features. Some may beneficial, while others might not come out the best. What we get is not up to us, but to our parents who carry these traits and pass it on to their offspring. Those traits can include beauty, intelligence, skin color, hair color, eye color, height, and so on. Most of these are basic traits, but some of us are given the “gift” of extended youth. I say gift in quotations, because it’s really up to you to decide whether you consider it a gift. We the young-looking people of the world go through different obstacles and advantages on a daily basis, which I’ve listed below for you to decide whether it’s a blessing or a curse...
PROS:
1. You can get away with many discounts
You know exactly what I’m talking about whether it’s child admission at an amusement park, student discounts, cheaper prices at a buffet, etc..
2. People think you’re harmless and wouldn’t hurt a fly *evil laugh*
Someone who is younger looking tend to be considered innocent or harmless, it’s great when you get in trouble because nobody believes it...
3. You can shop in the younger section with no problem and it’s cheaper
It’s saves a good amount of money especially when it comes to sneakers.
4. Freedom to be more immature than most just because
As long as you look young, take advantage to the max because why not? Looking young can be a blessing in disguise.
5. If your good genes keep on the same route, you’ll be looking fabulous when you’re much older
Right now, we might not see the bright side of this dilemma, but in the future it will be all we have.
CONS:
1. People don’t believe you when you tell them your age... I’m 21, not 12
I’ve had this happen to many times to count. I’ll even show them my ID to prove my age but doesn’t work very well either especially when going out to drink. I guess I’ll have to grow a mustache and beard to prove myself.
2. When you’re working and people joke around saying “Aren’t you too young to be working here?”
I don’t understand why this is even a joke, child labor is against the law. There is no funny business here. HAHAHAHAHA, NO!
3. People don’t take you seriously and still think you’re a kid
When you go do adult things like go to a doctor’s appointment or something, and people ask you where are your parents? Like I don’t need them to be here, I’m over 18. HELLO?!
4. Guys/Girls think you’re too young for them
Let’s be real, dating is already tough in the modern day. As for me, guys think I’m younger than I actually am. I might as well write “I’m 21” on my forehead.
5. You may get confused for being in a younger grade like middle school
This is the most embarrassing one. I’ve had this happen to me several times before. The most embarrassing one was when a substitute teacher asked me if I was in the right class in FRONT of the whole class because I looked like a 7th grader, when I was in 10th grade.
6. Your friends call you “cute” ALL THE DAMN TIME!
STOP PLEASE IMMEDIATELY! I’m not a baby, DO NOT call me “cute.”
